Terms and conditions

By agreeing to these terms and conditions you are pledging to raise £300 for Bliss (excluding Gift Aid) by 24 June 2020.

I agree to raise and send in to Bliss the first £200 of my fundraising by Friday 24 April 2020. I understand that failure to do so may result in me being unable to take part in the event.

Once your place has been confirmed we require a registration fee payment of £15 for your half marathon place. If you drop out for any reason your deposit is non-refundable and it cannot be rolled over to next year’s Edinburgh Marathon Festival Half Marathon or another event.

Bliss does not take responsibility for any health issues during your training for the marathon or any incidents that occur on race day. If you have any health concerns prior to, or during, your training please consult with your doctor.

Bliss reserves the right to refuse an application at its absolute discretion.

You must be 17 years or over on the day of the race.

If you are unable to participate in the event for any reason, all donated monies collected in support of Bliss must be forwarded to the charity or returned to the individual sponsors. Monies already received by the charity will not be refunded.

You must contact Bliss immediately if you think you are going to be unable to participate.

When Bliss establishes contact described as "urgent", runners must respond via email/telephone/in writing as quickly as possible.

By signing up to the Edinburgh Marathon Festival Half Marathon you are consenting to Bliss using any images of you in their promotional materials. Please contact us in advance of the run if you are unhappy with this arrangement.

I have read and understood the terms and conditions above and would like to apply for a charity place to run for Bliss. I understand that if accepted for a Bliss charity place I am undertaking a pledge to raise £300 for the marathon (excluding Gift Aid) for Bliss by 24 June 2020.
